No, the bolt should not be longer than the crossbow. A bolt that is too long can lead to safety issues, such as improper loading or potential damage to the crossbow. Additionally, it may affect the accuracy and performance of the shot. Ideally, bolts should be appropriately sized to match the specifications of the crossbow for optimal use.

How fast is a crossbow bolt?
A crossbow bolt typically travels at speeds ranging from 300 to 400 feet per second (fps), depending on the type of crossbow and the weight of the bolt. High-performance crossbows can even exceed these speeds, reaching up to 500 fps. The speed can be influenced by factors such as the draw weight of the crossbow, the design of the bolt, and the type of bowstring used. Overall, crossbow bolts are significantly faster than traditional arrows shot from a compound or recurve bow.

What is a crossbow arrow called other than a bolt?
A quarrel or bolt is the term for the ammunition used in a crossbow. The name "quarrel" is derived from the French carré, "square", referring to the fact that they typically have square heads. They are typically shorter than traditional arrows, though some may be longer, and can be fired repetitively in some cases. Bolts and arrows have different flight characteristics. Bolts fall at the same rate, independent of the speed of flight. Arrows, in contrast, depend on gaining lift in flight, and hence have their centre of balance at a point about 9% of their length forward of their center. This is called "point planing".
Is there a specific term for an archer who uses a crossbow rather than a longbow?
